Perhaps the coolant temp. switch on the bottom of the radiator quit
working.  Short that switch (with the ignition on) and if the rad. fan
comes on, that is your problem.  You can leave it shorted until you get
a replacement - the fan will be running full time while the ignition is
on, but it will turn off when you shut off the car.
